The slow cooker plays a crucial role in assembling this simple dessert. Peaches get tender and boozy as the simmer in almond-scented Amaretto. It only takes an hour in the slow cooker to achieve the tender results—start it right before a dinner party, and it'll be ready by the end of the meal.

Yogurt gives the almond-infused cream in this dessert a little tang, and peaches that have been macerated with lemon thyme just long enough to meld and soften seem to exist expressly for topping it off.

You don't need a rolling pin for this gorgeous pie! The simple press-in pie dough does double duty for both the crust and the crumb topping. Bonus: the peach-raspberry filling can also be baked in a muffin tin to make mini pies.

Firm peach slices will hold their shape even when they are doused in sugar and whiskey and put to a flame. They're delicious on their own, over ice cream, or in this case with sweetened crème fraîche spooned over homemade shortcakes.
